I don't specialize in any genre, at the moment my computer sucks, and I can't play even a single 3d game if I am recording!
When you get a new computer, you really should seriously consider specializing. Most gamers like to play only one, a couple, or a few genres. Not all. If you're all over the gaming map, you will turn off gamers who are not into all the genres you play in. If your subscribers get too many videos about genres they have no interest in, they will unsubscribe. Don't give them a reason to unsubscribe. And if your next question is: Can you be successful by specializing in just one genre? The answer is definitely yes. Pewdiepie specializes in just horror.
As for which game genre should you specialize in, it should ONLY be the genre that you must love playing and have been playing the longest time. Don't just do what it most popular. Gaming video viewers expect you to have a passion for the games you play. While you can fake it for a while, eventually the truth will be revealed. Not only that but nothing kills a YouTube channel faster than a YouTuber doing videos that they don't have a passion for. Additionally, that passion will enable you to keep putting out videos.
So I am just doing indie games for now...
Indie games isn't a genre.
...and I am thinking about vlogging alot! I'll post on wednesday a gaming video and on sunday a vlog because my computer sucks so much T.T
You need to decide which you want to do more: gaming or vlogging. Viewers subscribe to SINGLE-topic channels and will unsubscribe if they get too many videos that are not of interest to them. Again, don't give your subscribers a reason to unsubscribe.
If you want to do a gaming channel, you need a more frequent release schedule than weekly. At least every other day but daily is best. You can and I encourage you to do a vlog channel in addition to your gaming channel BUT only in support of the gaming channel. The support vlog channel enables you to keep your gaming channel pure (only gaming videos). You then use your support vlog channel for where you can dump your milestone, viewer mail, "making of...", and other videos. You doing the vlog channel at most once a week but, as it is just a support channel, you can do it monthly or just when you have something you want your gaming channel fans to see. A support vlog channel is just that: support. Don't worry about how many subscribers or views it gets. Simply promote it at the end of all your gaming videos. All of its subscribers will come from your gaming channel and that's just fine. Don't waste any more time, energy, or money promoting it.
If you do a regular vlogging channel, that is a totally different animal than a gaming channel. While a gaming channel has a focus (gaming), a vlogging channel is more along the lines of a public diary. You're building a relationship with your viewers with a regular vlogging channel. Your release schedule should be at least every other day but daily is best. Vlog viewers are along for the journey. YOUR journey. But you should not just blather on your vlogging videos. Each should have its own focus. Vlogging is also FAR more demanding than a gaming channel. It is a vampire. It will suck you dry. It can EASILY become a grind. And when it feels like that, it will shortly thereafter die.
Notice that above either channel will demand a lot out of you. ONLY do one. Doing both will have you burn the candle at both ends and thus burn you out.
4)I actually can't go daily unfortunately. My computer takes from 2 to 4 hours to render a single 10 minutes video, and it is really slowing the whole computer down unabling me to record other videos... Plus here in Italy we have a really bad internet service (it takes me 4 hours or more to upload one single 10 mins video
Then do it every other day. Better yet, get a better computer and Internet connection. If this is all just a hobby for you, forget everything I have said and do whatever you like. But if your goal is to be a full-time PROFITABLE YouTuber, you got to be competitive and invest into a better computer and Internet connection.
5)That is what I would like to do if I have a better pc, I am actually trying to sell my bass+amp to buy a better computer!
Sorry to hear you're so hard up. But PLEASE don't pin your hopes on making a living off of YouTube right now. I hope you have a job. Don't give it up for YouTube. If your goal is to be a full-time YouTuber, sacrifice your leisure time but never your job.
6)I am italian, and I live in Italy, and I don't think that a newspaper or the local media would promote a guy who does english videos in a little italian country. I don't think that they'd find it interesting
Obviously you've never worked for a news agency. Trust me. Your local newspapers, local radio stations, and local TV stations are DESPERATE for "local color" feel-good stories. Here. I'll help you out. Here's what you can do to get local media coverage. Find ten YouTubers in your country that span the gambit. Beauty, fitness, vlogging, humor, etc. Contact them, ask if they'd like to be profiled (they will naturally say "YES!"), and ask them to email you a photograph of them for the article. Write up a very VERY brief profile on each. Name, YouTube channel name, number of subscribers, total views, and then a single "color" paragraph. Send it to them for review and proofing. Once all are approved by them, assemble the profiles into an article. Biggest YouTuber (most subscribers) first and rest in descending order. Put your profile at the end and as the ONLY gaming channel profile in the article. Title the article "Italians Take YouTube By Storm" or some such catchy title. Then email it to your country's biggest newspaper's entertainment reporter. Include all the contact information for everyone profiled in the article in your cover letter. The reporter will reject it. Thank him for "considering it" and email the package to your country's second biggest newspaper's entertainment reporter. Lather, rinse, repeat. Eventually someone will bite.
Once that article appears in a newspaper (no matter how small the newspaper), you cut it out and submit it to your city/region's biggest TV station local newscast's entertainment reporter. Include all the contact information for everyone profiled in the article in your cover letter. The reporter will reject it. Thank him for "considering it" and email the package to your city/region's second biggest TV station local newscast's entertainment reporter. Lather, rinse, repeat. Eventually someone will bite.
Even if they cut you from the newspaper article or TV news report, you've got Italian YouTubers who did get profiled in your debt. Hello, collaborations!
There's more you can do but this reply is already probably too long.
7)Unfortunately as I kept saying 'till now my pc isn't able to record "big games"
moreover I think I'd have copyright issues? (I found a list of games that can be played without getting issues, and other games that will give you problems if you post them, so it is a thing you really have to be aware of)
Contact them. Gaming companies with a game in alpha are looking to generate buzz for their upcoming game. Look for one that is in the game genre that you have specialized in. Tell them that. Tell them that you're looking for the next big game and you think theirs might be it. Ask to be let into their beta. Once in their beta, do a TON of how-to videos about everything in their game. Don't do "Let's Play" videos until you've exhausted every single TINY how-to topic you can possibly think of doing for their game. Email them weekly. Keep it professional. Ask them if there is anything they would like you to test, check out, do, etc. and then IMMEDIATELY do and release a video on that. Email them once you've uploaded it to your channel and ask for input on it and if there is anything else they'd like to you do a video on. When they go live, start doing "Let's Play" videos since only then is the game "set".
Good gaming companies will want to cultivate you. They might even fly you in to meet the development team. That isn't unheard of. You make a really good video and they might feature it on their website or even give a link to it within the game.
As for which gaming companies to contact, I would strongly suggest you look into gaming companies in Italy. You're there. You can easily meet with them. You're a fellow countryman. "
Fratelli d'Italia L'Italia s'è desta Dell'elmo di Scipio..." And all that good jazz.
8)I am trying to collab with someone but I can't have anyone to answer me!
Look local. You're a gaming channel. You can easily have over a YouTuber to play a game with you. I saw one of your videos where you did this with a woman. There you go! Once you have done one such gaming video, send a link to it to other local YouTubers and ask them if they'd like to do likewise. Until you get a better Internet connection, you won't be able to do such over the Internet. But even if you had a rocking Internet connection right now, you should first approach local YouTubers before faraway ones.
My pleasure.
